Yes, sir... nice bow. But, if it was mine, I'd take a few scrapes outta the bottom limb, right where the dark brick is in the back ground. Top limb looks sweet.

You might want to check the unbraced pic again Adb.  It has reflexed bit there.  I do believe he nailed it.  Nice job Sir!  I do love the grain on elm!  Josh

Yes, I noticed that. There's also a big knot just above there also. That being said, I'd still try getting that spot to bend just a wee bit more... but that's serious nit picking! Nice bow!

Woah, the belly is awesome!
"The way of heaven is like the bending of a bow-
 the upper part is pressed down,
 the lower part is raised up,
 the part that has too much is reduced,
 the part that has too little is increased."

Nice looking Bow. That Elm has some real character to it..

Cool bow Kevin. Glad to see you poking around again man. Yes, I wondered what was up!
